Juicy Roasted Pork Loin
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and promotes a good sear.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan, fat side up.
Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the pork moist during roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender roast.
Variations & Tips
For a sweeter twist, you can add a glaze made of honey and Dijon mustard during the last 15 minutes of roasting. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. For a more herbaceous flavor, consider adding sage or oregano. If you’re short on time, you can sear the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting to develop a deeper crust in less time.
